Chapter 9
Bethany POV
I stopped home to pick up some things. I never lost any of the things I had with me when I ran away from home. I gathered my old phone and the other phone that Carl had gotten for me. Most importantly, I took along my body spray that hides my. scent, I wouldn't want the guys to sniff me out among the girls, they could label me a traitor and I'll be thrown in the dungeon, never to see the light ever again.
Teaching Ciara and Fiona about our jobs had been so hilarious, they obviously know nothing about being a stripper. We taught them how to face and tease their audience at the same time, although I wasn't sure if we'll be doing all that at the party. They were catching up faster than I did when I started out, but I'm not even sure that the werewolves would be keen t watch us dance and tease them all day.
If I'm not mistaken, King Dominic is the host of the party, and he is a pig and a brute, so I'm pretty sure that everyone at thaf party would be dickheads like him. They would most likely need us to warm their beds and sit by their sides as the party progresses. I couldn't tell this to the girls because they may want to know how I got this information and I cant tell them the truth about me because they would never believe that I am a werewolf. I just hope they would be strong enough to withstand anything we might have to face at Castle Black. I know Alpha Dominic is an i***t but I'm pretty sure that he is not rapist. He would never let his men r**e innocent humans under his roof, that would be barbaric. So at the end of the day, it still boils down to choice, it is entirely up to each person to decide to give in to their demands or turn them down. I'm sure the girls would decide wisely when the time come, after all, they aren't kids anymore.
We got our things together before going to bed, Carol made us pack up everything we would need before going to bed, she doesn't want us to end up being late and missing out on this great opportunity. Who would blame her though, her life depends on the success of this trip. I wanted her to help me with my hair, but she couldn't do s**t after getting high on coke don't have to let Fiona do it for me. My blonde hair needed to go away so I dyed my hair a deep red, making me look super hot, like a fiery princess. My blues eyes is a replica of my father's sea-blue eyes and I'm sure I'll be recognized if I look anything like him, so I used a brown contact lens to hide the colour of my eyes.
I stayed awake when everyone else had fallen asleep, I kept thinking about my plans to put an end to Alpha Dominic. I have two plans in place already. I have a lingerie set that is specifically designed for strippers. It has hidden holsters underneath that could conceal my weapons and potions. If I don't get a chance to slip my odourless, tasteless poison into his meal, I'll definitely find my way into his bedroom and I'll slit his throat in his sleep. I know it would be difficult because he could catc} a whiff of the wolfsbane in my poison or he could catch me when I sneak into his room. I needed a backup plan in case all my plans fail. I decided to get help from King Ashford. I may not have the money to lure him into helping me, but I have something else that he needs, Alpha Dominic. We both have a common enemy, we both want Alpha Dominic dead, so 'm hoping he responds to my message and sends help to me.
I got his number from a spy that works with the werewolf hunters. The werewolf hunters go after rogues that go on a rampage and hurt humans. They work with the Lycan king to bring an end to these rogues. I had to pay a lot of money to get this number, but I needed it because I know he is the only one that could be of help to me. I sent him a message just before went to sleep, it says,
“Greetings my king,
I'am Bethany Delaney, daughter of Alpha Robert Delaney of the Blue Crescent Pack. For three years I have been living as a fugitive with the humans because Alpha Dominic attacked our pack and killed everyone that stood in his way. I have worked hard and plotted my revenge on him and today, I seek your help because I finally found the perfect opportunity to take him down. His warriors are in the human city and they need some girls to take to his Castle. I am disguised as a human and I pla to take him out. I won't be able to do it alone, that is why I seek for your help, my king. We leave tomorrow but ill sneak in this phone so I can communicate with you. I await your response, my king” I will wait for his response, but in the meantime, I'll try to execute my plans.
The next morning, the guys were at the club by 7:00 am like they promised, with their SUVs parked outback like a f***g convoy. I thought they said only ten girls, we were way more than fifty and the girls all looked super excited about this trip. They took us to the mall and they spent lavishly on us, getting is more than enough clothes, undies, makeup, and every other thing that we'll be needing for the week. Judging from the excitement in their faces, I'm pretty sure that these girls would do anything they are required of without thinking twice about it. I must confess, they have been more than generous with us. The pay is amazing and they don't mind spending so much on our wardrobes, its all so nice and enticing, just hop we don't end up dead.
“Would we be driving down to New York from here?" I asked the guy when I got a chance to speak with him alone. He was supervising as the other guys loaded our stuff into the cars and when I spoke to him, he turned his face towards me, raising his eyebrow in question.
“Ahhh, I remember you, you're the inquisitive one from last night, aren't you?” he asked with a smile, smirking mischievously “What did you do with your hair and eyes?
I think you looked prettier as a blonde. This hair colour makes you look wild and hot, super hot” He teases softly, making mi take a step back because he is ogling at me, acting all creepy and crazy.
“You don't have to run away from me Alexia, like I said earlier, I'm not allowed to sample the goods until they have been delivered. If do otherwise the king would have my head," he confessed to me, making me heave a sigh of relief because for a minute there, I got scared of his lustful gaze.
“You wound me, Lexi, you look like you hate me already. Your fiery spirit turns me on, my love. Maybe, I'l be fortunate enough to have you for myself. I hope you don't find your mate at Castle Black, then I can have you all to myself” He muttered softly, giving away more information than he intended. He must have realized his mistake because he took on a stern look as he gazes at me in surprise.
“To answer your question Alexia, we would not be driving back to New York. We don't want you looking weary and drained when we arrive at the castle, so we would be using the kings private jet. Now my love, could you get your pretty a*s into the car and let us concentrate on packing this stuff.” He said teasingly, giving me that same creepy look as I walked away. He is such a weirdo. But he did give me a hint on what is really going on here. I don't think this is just a party, it's way more than that. I think the Alpha king is trying to help his men to find their mates. They are so desperate to find their mate, this means that Our population must have gotten worse since I left. I don't know if I should praise him for helping his men or hate him for luring these girls over with so much money. I guess I'll stick with hating him, after all, I have always hated him so this doesn't change anything.
Afew hours after we left Washington, we arrived at Castle Black. I set an alarm on my phone to remind me to use my spray before it fades away. It lasts for only one hour so I had to spray often to keep my scent hidden. When I first heard that Alpha Dominic built a castle and name it castle Black, I thought it would look like a hinted Castle with eerie shadows in the dark and echoes of ghost voices. My mind already conjured several pictures of what his Castle would look like, but when we stepped down from the car, I could hold in the gasp that escaped from my mouth as I marvelled at the beauty of his Castle. It looked like a big and modern community surrounded by a deep forest. The modern buildings look carefully planned and beautifully designed. But that is not what caught my eyes. I was starring at a five-story building that seemed to be made of mirror. Looking at the building, you can see the reflection of the surrounding buildings and the deep green forests. it was so breathtaking and I marvelled at the wonderful sight.
The glittering building is the castle. It was so beautiful. This guy must be so wealthy, how could he afford all this?
Oh, I forgot.
He must have gotten his hands into the Treasury of every pack he plugged. He stole our money and used it to build all this for himself, he is such a tyrant and before the end of this week, I'll make him pay for his crimes. What I don't get is why everyone considers him a hero, when it is so obvious that he is nothing but a villain. He must have brainwashed everyone with his long talks of a better tomorrow. He also lavishes money on his faithful followers, that way, no one would be bold enough to challenge his rule. No one, except me. I would never be deceived or brainwashed by him, I'll expose his lies and bring justice upon him.
The time was 2:00 pm. The guys took us inside the beautifully designed castle, the walls inside were painted with white and the furnishings are all Italian and imported. Everything looks so expensive, so impeccably maintained. I had to give it to Alpha Dominic, he sure loves good stuff and he gets the best in everything, I mean everything. The omega came out and lea us to our rooms to have a little rest after our journey. The room has two huge beds on it and the girls said we would have to share the rooms until the masters came to take us. The head omega introduced herself as Bianca and she instructed the girl on how to split us into the rooms. I approached her and pleaded with her, asking her to put my friends and I in the same room. She turned to me and looked me over, eyeing me from my head to my toes.
“You should learn your place, young lady and don't speak until you are spoken to” she spat out with disdain. I was so humiliated that I couldn't utter a single word. A common omega is acting like the Luna in this Castle and she dares speak to me in this manner. I would have answered her back, but then everyone would know that I know the layout of this Castle. Questions would be asked and I would attack attention to myself and that is not the plan.
“Please ma'am, I just want to be among familiar faces," I pleaded softly, keeping my eyes down as a humble servant, making her feel like a queen.
“Fine, have it your way," she said abruptly, dismissing me with a wave of her hands. Who does she even think that she is, why is she acting as if she is a queen here? Well, ll put her in her place after I handle her master. For now, she can keep being in charge and acting all high and mighty, I would simply keep away from her path so she doesn't piss me off any further. They told us we could rest for two hours, then we can get ready to meet the king by 5:00 pm. I smiled warmly at the omega that Bianca asked to lead us to our rooms. She looks young and beautiful and she is more gentle and calm than that Busty, brunette, Bianca. She told us that the party would be a formal dinner party for we are expected to dress formally.
“The king loves blonde girls, I bet he'll pick you because you are very beautiful. Just try and look your best and try to avoid his eyes, he hates it when anyone looks into his eyes, he considers it as arrogance. I bet you'll enjoy your stay in this palace! She said softly, giving us the warmest smile ever. For an omega, she looks pretty good. I guess he treats his servants very well, that is why they all love and respect him or maybe he instilled fear in them and now they have no choice but to obey his every command or get killed for being insolent.
This room was prepared for two girls. It had only two beds and two wardrobes do the girls and I had to share everything in the room. Our lunch was served in a cart, I must confess, they sure know how to treat their guest nice. Alpha Dominic spared no expense in making us feel welcomed, I guess he has done this many times, I'm sure we aren't the first set of human girls he has brought here. After our lunch, the girls took a nap, resting their fragile bodies. I had the urge to sleep but I just couldn't shut my eyes for even a second. My wolf is acting up again. She is howling in my head, wagging her tail excitedly. The last time she had acted this way was the day I ran away from our pack. She is acting up again and I just don't know why. “Stop it, Alexia, you'll get us exposed.” I scolded her angrily, pushing her to the back of my head because I have no time for her explanation and argument. She can quite a handful when she is upset, I have no time for all this, I need to be ready for my first meeting with the demon. You can't tell, I could get him to fall for me tonight and when he thinks he is in contro, I'l Freereg kill him.
While the girls slept, I rummaged through my stuff, searching for what to wear. I needed something sexy, but not slutty, something that would catch the eyes of everyone around and put me in the spotlight. I ended up wearing a floor-length blu “gown that practically sweeps the floor. The sleeves are thin and off-shoulder with a dangerously long slit on the right side running up to my thigh. The back of the gown has a very low neckline that shows off my flawless skin at my back, giving an enchanting and alluring view. I am wearing a red heel that matches with my purse and my hair. I hope he chooses a redhead today. That omega had said that he loves blonde girls, but I'm hoping to get him to notice me even if I've died my hair red.
I got rid of my ponytail and combed my wavy red hair. Then I put on eye shadow and mascara that matches my dressing and accentuate my high cheekbones. I added a rosy pink blush and a red lipstick. I wore a gold Q garring, necklace and bracelet that suits me and compliments my Q Qutfit.
When am done, I look at myself in the mirror and smiled. I love what I see and now am sure I'll be the centre of attention to every guy tonight because I look quite amazing. I hope I get him to notice me, it's going to be one hell of a week for Alpha Dominic. He has no idea what's coming to him. I stood in front of the mirror, admiring my beauty,
Damn,
“Am super hot”
